A shelf company Ireland, or ‘off-the-shelf’ company is a corporate entity that has been set up by someone else and held until it is sold. Once the sale goes through, the ownership is transferred. The new owner is then able to use the company and trade normally.
The benefits of buying a shelf company Ireland are many, including:
- You save time and money as the company has already been established
- You can take part in contract bidding as you will not be seen as a new company
- Your new company will have the appearance of corporate longevity, inspiring confidence

These companies will have not traded at all. We carry a stock of such companies suitable for any purpose. They are incorporated and have a neutral sounding name, standard Articles, authorised share capital of £100,000 and an issued share capital of £100. This means that you can issue shares, enabling the shareholder/s to have a majority controlling interest.
